BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Lipid distribution plays a crucial role in glucose metabolism, and this study aimed to investigate the effects of 12 weeks traditional Chinese YiJinJing exercise on specific lipid distributions in patients with prediabetes.
Sixty participants with prediabetes were randomly allocated to either a control group (Con, n = 30) or an exercise group (Ex, n = 30). The Ex group underwent YiJinJing exercise plus Theraband, engaging in 1-h sessions, 3 times per week, over a total period of 12 weeks. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were used to measure lipid distribution in different body segments and organs. Additionally, a body composition analyser was employed to measure visceral fat, and laboratory tests were conducted to measure indicators related to glycolipid metabolism.
Following a 12-week intervention with Exercise, 37 % of prediabetic patients in the Ex group achieved normal blood glucose levels. Significant reductions were observed in upper limb fat (ULF), trunk fat (TrF) and liver fat (LF) values in the Ex group compared to the Con group. Additionally, within the Ex group, there were notable decreases in triglyceride (TG) levels, body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio (WHR), android fat (AF), ULF, thigh fat (ThF), renal sinus fat (RSF), and LF compared to baseline.
Traditional Chinese YiJinJing plus TheraBand exercise can significantly reduce blood glucose levels through improved lipid distribution and metabolism in prediabetic patients. Hence, YiJinJing can serve as a crucial intervention for individuals with prediabetes.
背景/目的：脂质分布在葡萄糖代谢中起着至关重要的作用，本研究旨在探讨为期12周的传统中医易筋经锻炼对糖尿病前期患者特定脂质分布的影响。
60名糖尿病前期参与者被随机分为对照组（Con，n = 30）或运动组（Ex，n = 30）。运动组进行易筋经锻炼并使用弹力带，每次锻炼1小时，每周3次，共持续12周。采用双能X线吸收法（DEXA）和磁共振成像（MRI）测量不同身体部位和器官的脂质分布。此外，使用人体成分分析仪测量内脏脂肪，并进行实验室检测以测量与糖脂代谢相关的指标。
经过12周的运动干预，运动组中37%的糖尿病前期患者血糖水平恢复正常。与对照组相比，运动组的上肢脂肪（ULF）、躯干脂肪（TrF）和肝脏脂肪（LF）值显著降低。此外，在运动组内，与基线相比，甘油三酯（TG）水平、体重指数（BMI）、腰臀比（WHR）、男性型脂肪（AF）、ULF、大腿脂肪（ThF）、肾窦脂肪（RSF）和LF均显著下降。
传统中医易筋经加弹力带锻炼可通过改善糖尿病前期患者的脂质分布和代谢，显著降低血糖水平。因此，易筋经可作为糖尿病前期个体的重要干预措施。
